MPs are planning to impeach Tony Blair for "high crimes and misdemeanours" in taking Britain to war against Iraq, reviving an ancient practice last used against Lord Palmerston more than 150 years ago.

Eleven MPs led by Adam Price, Plaid Cymru MP for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, are to table a motion when parliament returns that will force the prime minister to appear before the Commons to defend his record in the run-up to the war.

Nine of the MPs are Welsh and Scottish Nationalists, including the party leaders, Elfyn Llwyd, and Alex Salmond, and two are Conservative frontbenchers, Boris Johnson, MP for Henley and editor of the Spectator, and Nigel Evans, MP for Ribble Valley.

A number of Labour backbenchers are considering whether to back the motion, though it could mean expulsion from the party.</blockquote>

With Tony Blair facing impeachment, one can only wonder when Dubbyuh and his merry band, will face the music. If a president can be impeached for consensual sex, in the Oval Office, onse can surely be impeached for misleading the nation into an ill-considered, ill-concieved war.

Some tiny problems with your post Bull.

1. As the above post points out very clearly, Clinton was impeached for breaking the law by committing perjury, not having sex with an intern. Though I do applaude your attempt to make it sound more innocent by saying "consensual sex", rather than calling it "cheating on his wife with an intern in the oval office".

2. The Senate Intelligence Committee Report and the Butler Report have declared that neither Bush nor Blair intentionally mislead the public to go to war. When Clinton was impeached, there was a ton of evidense against him, not mounting declarations supporting him.

3. Any motion to accuse Blair of "high crimes and misdemeanours" would have to pass in the Commons, where Labour has a majority of more than 150 seats. If they plan on pushing this through, they are going to need more than "a number" of Labour party members, their going to need a truck load.

"2. The Senate Intelligence Committee Report and the Butler Report have declared that neither Bush nor Blair intentionally mislead the public to go to war. When Clinton was impeached, there was a ton of evidense against him, not mounting declarations supporting him."

I keep hearing this, and I'd like to know, EVEN IF the Bush Administration (not just Bush, we're voting for all his people when we vote for him) did not intentionally mislead the public, and even if they didn't data-mine their own intelligence LOOKING for reasons to support a cause rather than the other way around, would Republicans admit that he was wrong about Iraq, WMDs, and Iraq-al Qaeda ties?

It seems when you say "He didn't know any better!" that he did something wrong. Well. Who is going to sack up and say it?

Wrong about Iraq-al Qaeda ties? Yeah right. There is plenty of evidence of that. I know the NYT and other left-biased sources had the misleading headline stating that there were no ties, but that's misleading. The 9/11 Commission never said that there were no ties.

Iraq/Al queda connections are well documented for those without a closed mind to anything positive for Bush.

As for the WMDs, i wish we were wrong. But the evidence shows that they have been passed off to Syria as well as several other locations. I hope to god they don't exist. But hoping isnt going to make them disappear will it?

Plus, there has been enough found in Iraq to support, at the very least, the beginnings of a WMD program. Either that, or what was left of one they already had. Plus, the illegal weapons that were found shortly after the Marines took Baghdad. As far as terrorist ties, the only people that don't see it are the people with their eyes closed.
